Macbook air 13” (2019) not booting so how to get data?
Ok so…all of a sudden a few days ago I tried turning my MBA on and it was showing the “battery low, plug in charger” sign. I tried repeatedly to turn it on and made sure the charger and cable were working to no avail. Next day took it to Apple and they said it’s most likely not the battery, it’s the “IO board” (if I remember correctly) which would cost $500 or something, he then directed me to a close by electronics repair shop and said if you want to go and try to get the battery changed you could do that see if it works (it’ll be cheaper). So I go to the other place and the guy checks it out and says the motherboard needs to be replaced which would cost $300. My question is since I don’t think I backed up my data on it, if the motherboard is changed, I lose my data? I read that after 2018 models have the SSD soldered to the board and it’s not detachable? Is that correct or is there a way?
